Chapter 15: Finding Her.

Chapter 15: Finding Her.

Artemis wakes up again from his nightmare. It's been a week since that terrible accident. His family mourned on Nina. She was just only adopted and new to the family and yet she taken away from them all of a sudden.

Telling an excuse as to why she died to the school was easy work for Artemis, but what about Dorian? They like each other a lot... Will he be able to lie on his face?

He glances at his alarm. It's 3:03 in the morning. Sleep is no option now. He starts again his computer and looks at the coordinates the D.P.A. invitation presented to him.

It was quite news actually in the world: An island surfacing in the middle of the Pacific but when some geologists are going there, they can't find it...

Just then someone knocks in his bedroom window.

"Artemis." Holly said as Artemis opened my window to let her in. "I feel terrible and guilty."

"Me too, we shouldn't let that happen. Artemis said. "If I only knew..."

"We can still change this." Holly said to Artemis, facing him. "Are you in?"

"On what?" Artemis, for some time in his life, he was clueless again.

"You're the brains. I'm the strength. Let's team up. We find her." Holly said eagerly and without further ado Artemis agreed.

They both know finding Nina is impossible. The island was eaten by the ocean and it resurface but no body was found.

Still, it's better to try.

Artemis is being carried to the Pacific by Holly's moonbelt. And they travel for hours that the sun is rising now in front of them.

Bonus of a great view. Now, Artemis has an inspiration for another piece for his painting.

They arrived in the place of the island that looked like a distorted N on the top view. Well, are those geologists blind? We found the island easily. The island was very different than the old one before it sank.

As they landed Artemis and Holly felt a great force that begins to surrounds them.

"What's that?" Artemis asked.

"Maybe it's because a lot of people die here and never found her body." Holly said.

"Just like Nina."

"Now, how do we search for her?"

"We look everywhere..."

"That's stupid."

"Stupid as it may seem, we don't have any gadget to find a dead body that may be in the middle of the bottom of the ocean right now instead here."

"Okay! Fine! You look over there. I'll look around here."

"What are we looking exactly?"

"Clues... That maybe, her spirit is here..."

"The Orb is closed. There's no threat about the rift..."

"You know what? We should bring N.1 here."

"Right. Good plan."

Then a wind blows behind the trees and to them. But it's creepy that it's actually circling around to them... Caressing them or hugging them.

"Arty..."

"Yes, Holls?"

"I don't like this..."

"Me neither."

Then what freak them most are the leaves...Following the wind, circling around them.
